Peruse and Profit
The greatest tragedy of a human life is the loss of
sanctity, the loss of that which we were made for. The
only way in which we can attain sanctity is first. to desire
it with the whole of our being, and with this desire fore­most,
we wouldn't let anyone or anything distract us from
what is righ tfully ours. But where does this desire come
f rom? It comes from knowledge-the knowledge we
daily receive in the class1·oom, and the knowledge we
gain thr·ough om· reading.
If our reading is worth while, we will be able to get a
Christian view of reality and especially of the human
predicament put into its rightful focus. But in order to
do this, our· reading will have to be of those books that
have enough food for our in tellects; we must not endange1·
our emotions by coming into contact with the scores of
second and third rate novels that are being published
today. These books are not necessarily immoral, but yet,
they have no great value. Our in tellect searches after
enlightenment, and knowledge. and truth in order that
our will can love; therefore, the literatu re that we read
must be mighty and deep enough to satisfy this need.
Examples of books that can be helpful for Lenten reading
are the New and Old Testament, the autobiographies of
the sain ts, the imitation of Christ; authors such as Thomas
Merton and Bishop Sheen are a lso excellen t.
However, we all give the excuse that we like to take
it easy and read something light after studying hard a ll
day long, and that we just like to relax with a good novel.
'J."here are many Catholic, readable novels that are worth­while;
fiction that probes the soul of man and comes to
grips with the pith of his being, fiction that illuminates
the mystery and mortal ordeal of our species. fiction tha t
solves the riddle of self and fi ction that suggests the full
dimensions of reality; authors such as Graham Greene,
Evelyn Waugh, Cheste1·ton, Heywood Broun, Viola Mey­nell,
and Caryll Houselande1· are in this category.
And so in the immeasurable treasury of Christian cul­tUl
·e, we too can gain in apprecation and love for a ll
things holy. Our reading should be of the great, if not
renowned people, who have conquered in their figh t for
the good. and of those who have led lives that radiated
the presence of God, so that our lives will be influenced
by their actions.

It is an easy and human failing to look at the
upside down as though we were standing on our
This is so because most of our fellow men are conv•m:e11
that this is the right way to look at things. It is the
tomary and accepted position, so to speak.
Under the in fluence of this te rrible mania of ours,
have been deluded into seeing this world as an end
itself. Take. for instance, the matter of Lent. For
Catholic, a man whose view of the world is the only sa
one amid all this upsidedownness, Lent is a season
preparation for joy. Sacrifices are made but they are
valued in themselves. They are considered good only
sofar as they prepare him for t he joy of the r esu
Christ.
So it would seem that seen in t he sanity of Catholic
sacrifices are not oppor t unities to compare our own h
qualities with t hose of others, secretly hoping to be
to give up more and stick to it longer than anyone
in ou1· crowd. They are not of the nature of New Y
resolutions made but half expected to be L roken.
Each of us then will bear a private sacrifice this Len
suffel'ing as did Christ without a hint of this world
approval; bearing a load that we carry not without d .
comfort but made light because of the One fo1· whom i
born. Th is One, this Christ, too.k up for us the bu
of the lowliness that is human nature and laid it
again in a position of supreme greatness. upon a
We will none of us pretend that we are heroic,
we love sa~rifi ce , .that we cannot wait to begin. But,
a sense, thrs last IS true for we cannot wait to begin
please Christ. We must keep in mind always the
of Christ that is t he reality behind the suffering that men
somehow seem so ready to accept as all there is.
We turn away from the woJ·ld not because to do so
g lorious, or worth the praise of others of itself, but
cause we turn to something higher. We turn to the
rected Christ, to the Ch1·ist that has ~ndured all that
manity means by suffering. Only as vessals enlarged
suffering will we be prepared to receive t he fulness
his joy. We will walk sanely only if we walk in the like·
ness of Christ.

Phones ring, feet scuny here
and there in desperate flight to
appointed stations, <H'de-rs nrc
shouted and ob~yed and the gen­et

gmdunlly to roll . Yes, g irls, SRO
is undel'way ng.ain, but destin~d
fo t· gl'eater success thnn ever he·
rot·e---w ith your he.Jp! Here's the
•tory in a nutshell.
Last fall it wos announced that
the dominating demon, Tradition1
would be broken in the s pring
• how for 1956. After much de·
bate and indecision, it was de·
cided that this year SRO needed a
change. Jt was in n rut! The
student wl'ilel'S·Producers·dfrect~

the same through wora·y. This has
all been changed.

sanctity, the loss of that which we were made for. The
only way in which we can attain sanctity is first. to desire
it with the whole of our being, and with this desire fore­most,
we wouldn't let anyone or anything distract us from
what is righ tfully ours. But where does this desire come
f rom? It comes from knowledge-the knowledge we
daily receive in the class1·oom, and the knowledge we
gain thr·ough om· reading.
If our reading is worth while, we will be able to get a
Christian view of reality and especially of the human
predicament put into its rightful focus. But in order to
do this, our· reading will have to be of those books that
have enough food for our in tellects; we must not endange1·
our emotions by coming into contact with the scores of
second and third rate novels that are being published
today. These books are not necessarily immoral, but yet,
they have no great value. Our in tellect searches after
enlightenment, and knowledge. and truth in order that
our will can love; therefore, the literatu re that we read
must be mighty and deep enough to satisfy this need.
Examples of books that can be helpful for Lenten reading
are the New and Old Testament, the autobiographies of
the sain ts, the imitation of Christ; authors such as Thomas
Merton and Bishop Sheen are a lso excellen t.
However, we all give the excuse that we like to take
it easy and read something light after studying hard a ll
day long, and that we just like to relax with a good novel.
'J."here are many Catholic, readable novels that are worth­while;
fiction that probes the soul of man and comes to
grips with the pith of his being, fiction that illuminates
the mystery and mortal ordeal of our species. fiction tha t
solves the riddle of self and fi ction that suggests the full
dimensions of reality; authors such as Graham Greene,
Evelyn Waugh, Cheste1·ton, Heywood Broun, Viola Mey­nell,
and Caryll Houselande1· are in this category.
And so in the immeasurable treasury of Christian cul­tUl
·e, we too can gain in apprecation and love for a ll
things holy. Our reading should be of the great, if not
renowned people, who have conquered in their figh t for
the good. and of those who have led lives that radiated
the presence of God, so that our lives will be influenced
by their actions.

This is so because most of our fellow men are conv•m:e11
that this is the right way to look at things. It is the
tomary and accepted position, so to speak.
Under the in fluence of this te rrible mania of ours,
have been deluded into seeing this world as an end
itself. Take. for instance, the matter of Lent. For
Catholic, a man whose view of the world is the only sa
one amid all this upsidedownness, Lent is a season
preparation for joy. Sacrifices are made but they are
valued in themselves. They are considered good only
sofar as they prepare him for t he joy of the r esu
Christ.
So it would seem that seen in t he sanity of Catholic
sacrifices are not oppor t unities to compare our own h
qualities with t hose of others, secretly hoping to be
to give up more and stick to it longer than anyone
in ou1· crowd. They are not of the nature of New Y
resolutions made but half expected to be L roken.
Each of us then will bear a private sacrifice this Len
suffel'ing as did Christ without a hint of this world
approval; bearing a load that we carry not without d .
comfort but made light because of the One fo1· whom i
born. Th is One, this Christ, too.k up for us the bu

somehow seem so ready to accept as all there is.
We turn away from the woJ·ld not because to do so
g lorious, or worth the praise of others of itself, but
cause we turn to something higher. We turn to the
rected Christ, to the Ch1·ist that has ~ndured all that
manity means by suffering. Only as vessals enlarged
suffering will we be prepared to receive t he fulness
his joy. We will walk sanely only if we walk in the like·
